I tend to agree with all of this...however...if they were aware...what were their goals ? all the Banks looks worse than they were...and the Fed and Greenspan role should be to help the banks if not us...
The more I try to find a reason...the less I understand...

some ideas ?

Thanks for your site

What will a pizza that costs $10 today cost if you wait 45 years and then buy it?
What would such a pizza have cost 45 years ago?
And how exactly to get 10% interest without the risk of losing some or most
of your money?

Burya,

Depends on the rate of inflation, you will only really earn the differece between inflation and 10%, the 10% assumption is unlikely over that timeframe to be attainable.

I'd say realistically you'd have to plug in about a 3% at best real growth rate of the pizza money.

However there would be some cost of replacing the calories, as well as an opportunity cost from not eating the pizza, say you made a friend with the pizza delivery driver or shared the pizza with a coed who then turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to you, or died eating bad bean salad from bad beans instead of eating the pizza.

:)

Basis for my tinfoil since day one. Many other folks in his circle theorized the same... I wish they would have published and translated their works as well He knew the games they played just as well as we do. Yet, no one wants to ****ing listen.

As far as the seven year cycle... I read a 1996 article laying out the plans for the mideast invasion and other macro topics by the TriLateral Commision cronies.. Gee, guess who met up in Washington over the weekend to discuss the plans for the next three years...

They also stated food/agri is the next bubble. Get it while it's hot!

considering each of the last two big legs down (aug, jan) started when the nonborrowed deposits also started heading down, but at much smaller amounts, considering we are still stuck at -90B, is it too much to speculate that the next leg down is going to be much uglier than the first two we already saw?

www.housingpanic.com has a whole bunch on the housing bubble/bust. One of the things mentioned in an anonymous letter points to deliberate lax regulation:

snippet:
Quote:
Upon taking office, President Bush appointed a Texas banking buddy, Donald Powell, to be FDIC Chairman. Mr. Powell ran a small national bank in Texas that came within an eyelash of failure in the early 1990's. Powell had a severe disdain for regulation and regulators and immediately proceeded to gut the staff. He publicly stated that "all of these small community banks could fail and it would make no difference." He implemented the MERIT program, which equated to drive-by examinations.


maybe another piece of the puzzle.

Thanks for putting all of this together.

Regarding edits of The White Paper, which I think is an excellent document, the following sentence needs to be changed:

This is, effectively(, )what happened in 1931 and transformed what was up until that point (was) a
deep recession to turn into what we now call The Great Depression.

Here's one possible edit, where the comma after effectively is removed-it's not necessary- and the
second was which is clearly a typo.

This is effectively what happened in 1931, and transformed what was up to that point, a deep recession, into what we now call The Great Depression.
a recession

Another editting suggestion...to Ewok's...

"This is effectively what happened in 1931 (remove comma) and it (new subject required) transformed what was, up to that point (a true parenthetical phrase requiring commas), a deep recession into what we now call The Great Depression."

Without notation it reads:


"This is effectively what happened in 1931 and it transformed what was, up to that point, a deep recession into what we now call The Great Depression."

Gen - Regarding your statements on the Barrons article..

One of the continuous themes in your posts has been the emergence of a plan / organized approach to running down the dollar. I'd like to agree, it seems more 1984-ish if that "is" the case.. but I can't just accept a conclusion without hard evidence to back it up.

I more than agree that Greenspan/Bernanke are both extraordinarily incompetent adherents to their own ideals (Greenspan = AynRand, Bernanke = his own depiction of the Depression). But.. there's a vast difference between incompetent and shrewdly treasonous.

What makes you think they're anything other than bumbling morons?

Willful refusal to enforce regulation doesn't mean they intend to kill the dollar, but it does inexorably lead to that result.

How about well over 100 years of similar activities, organized and carried out with tremendous precision and skill, always leading to the exact same inevitable result (JSP impoverishment and systemic looting of real wealth) to support the elite private banking cartel leech****s?

Hard evidence is out there but you must be willing to dig. You should probably start with the history and ownership of the Federal Reserve. On their own web page they admit to the conspiracy by stating that the Fed is not a privately help company, but that its shares (which pay 6%) are wholly owned by the 12 member banks! No mention of how someone can buy said shares nor who owns the member banks (I wonder why, LOL!) Some diligent research will show that ownership of these member banks is exclusively old money dynasties such as the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Morgans, Warburgs, etc. and the Federal Reserve shares are passed down from generation to generation as a birth-right inheritance. Thus, the Federal Reserve is, by any coherent definition, a private banking cartel that makes money on the order of $500B/yr. via interest payments on the debt.

Pay particular attention also to the history of JP Morgan and the various financial "crises" that he engineered before the formation of the Federal Reserve to "help convince" America that it really did need a private central bank, although this is expressly forbidden in the Constitution, and was strongly warned against by Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, Kennedy, and several other presidents and prominent statesmen over the years both prior to and after the formation of the Federal Reserve. Greenspan and Bernanke aren't as incompetent as people believe. They were specifically hired to do certain things and they got them done. Greenspan to blow various asset bubbles and suck JSP in, and Bernanke to manage GD2 and the largest wealth transfer of all time.

Honestly, I don't believer that these pigmen are trying to kill the USD, because that would be game over for their shenanigans. Look for a bond collapse and higher rates to SUPPORT the dollar. Also, look for a commodities collapse that will INCREASE inflation. This is bizzarro world and everything that we think we know has been turned upside down. A deflationary bond bust is in the cards mirroring 1931 almost exactly. The only other thing I will add is that a GSE looting operation will also be forthcoming, this is part of the strategy. That mountain of foreclosures will go a long ways towards making the IB's solvent again.

I know a lot of people don't like to hear this stuff or think it is too tinfoil, but sometimes you just have to apply logic and a sense of history to see what these rats are up to.

'Over in sunny England it is now reported that the banks that take advantage of their bail-out facilities will be kept secret.

Forever.

Heh Brits - are you going to stand for this, or are you going to decide instead that all banks over there are insolvent and act accordingly?'

Well, petitions only work in a democracy so I think we will just have to put up with this as we do with our unelected Prime Minister. People get the government they deserve, don't they?
Oh, and isn't very sunny here.
